Couple of questions.

Is KT too weak to 3-bet from the SB against a tag?
Should I just check/call the turn here?

Thanks!

a TAG eh? do you have any idea his blind stealing range? or if he has one or only raises premium holdings?

i like it so far. you have the OESD + overcard on the flop and folding equity on the turn.

I don't know much about short-handed; however, my instincts tell me not to 3-bet KTo....probably a dominated hand.

Also, I would only bet turn if I had a good read on villian and thought he might fold to a bet, otherwise, check/call.

Folded to him on the button he'll raise often - I would say it's reasonably wide.

I think a 3-bet is fine if you think he is on a blind steal and not raising with a premium holding!
